Mimi’s I Spy!

Mimi’s I Spy!

double nickel birthday girlAnother March finish!  With my sister’s double nickel birthday fast approaching I got busy and finished her “I Spy” quilt.  Look familiar?  It’s the same quilt design as Haley’s I Spy quilt.  My original plan was to make one for each of her grandchildren when her first 2 were born in 2011.  Well, I wasn’t fast enough and now she has 3, plus another due next month!   Therefore, one quilt for Mimi!  Every time they come to Mimi’s house they can play I Spy together.

Stitched labelThe border became the stitched label.

Name detailOne of my quilting buddies sold me her alphabet panel so I could spell out their family name!  That was lucky!

Mimi's I SpyI love it!  And I’m linking with Such a Sew and Sew: A Stitch In Time for another March finish!  Check out the other projects here.

Thanks!  Linda 🙂

Skylar’s Dancing 5’s!

Skylar's Dancing 5'sSkylar’s quilt arrived on her doorstep today!  How do you like this quilt for my 10 year old niece?  When I started to plan her quilt, I was making Bonnie Hunter’s Dancing Nine Patch.  The nine patches finish at 5″ so I pooled together 120 different 5″ charms and her favorite color, blue.

The quilting is is freehand loops and mod flowers along with a stitched label.
